Les représentations des minorités ethnoraciales dans l'audiovisuel français
Des chaînes de télévision aux plateformes numériques
Ces journées d'étude portent sur l’évolution des modes de représentation de la diversité ethnoraciale française dans un paysage médiatique refaçonné par la convergence numérique. Chacune des communications s’inscrit dans un des axes suivants : la diversité au prisme des contextes socio-professionnels de production des contenus audiovisuels ; les productions d’internautes librement accessibles sur les réseaux sociaux ; les représentations dans les contenus des grands médias : des chaînes de télévision aux plateformes de vidéos à la demande, quels nouveaux visages prend la diversité ethnoraciale ? En articulant réflexions universitaires et réalités du terrain, ces rencontres ont d'abord pour ambition de dresser des constats de l'évolution de la représentation des minorités ethnoraciales à l'ère du numérique.

Heritages values of 20th century architecture: what recognition?
Critical review and international forward-looking vision
The heritage values of 20th century architecture, whether they be cultural, social or technical, remain relatively complex to assess, and thus to share, due to lack of perspective and knowledge. The architectural and urban production of the second half of the 20th century was particularly prolific, sometimes remarkable, even exceptional. The energy, ecological transition, the changing habits and lifestyles are leading to the gradual transformation of this built heritage reaching to the end of its life cycle. Since the 1990-2000’s, a movement for heritage making has developed, which leads to many questions relating to possible and desirable developments of these architectural achievements. This issue of In Situ seeks to take a European or international critical perspective on the architecture of the 20th century and to highlight doctrines and positions adopted, practices and examples of schemes, policies or projects.

Figures and Perspectives on the Mass and the Individual in Capitalist Modernity (19th-21st century)
How is it possible to use the notion of mass without making it collapse into a complete condemnation of collective action or into an acritical celebration of the crowd? From there on, the relationship between mass and individual can be addressed in many fashions: Are there any specific ways for the mass to organize itself as a political subject? What are means whereby artworks represent and transform the linkage between mass and individual? What are the mutations undergone by the mass qua object of the social sciences? How does capitalist modernity affect the moral and psychic autonomy of individuals?

LGBTI and Queer Art, Culture and Activism
In France, a few years after the law authorizing same-sex marriage, LGBTQ associations are now facing new struggles, fighting for access to assisted procreation or the creation of a communal archive center. Drawing on these dynamics, this conference aims at interrogating the bonds between LGBTQ forms of arts, cultures and activisms. We look forward to opening a space for academics and grassroots activists, whether they be engaged in institutional collectives or not, to exchange, reflect and dialogue. LGBTQ-related topics appear to be often overlooked in French research networks. We aim to make it more visible and richer, and make it dialogue with local, national and international networks of academics and activists. The « LGBTI and Queer Art, Culture and Activism » online conference is jointly organised by the Université de Lorraine and its research centres (2L2S and CREM), with the support of the French ministry of culture (DRAC Grand-Est), and the LGBTIQ centre Couleurs Gaies.

Influence practices in XXth and XXIst Centuries
The field of influence activities is increasingly proliferating (advertising, propaganda, marketing, public relations, communication, soft power, social psychology, fake news, applied algorithmic, etc.). It is important to grasp not only their scope, but their extension, their dynamics, their practices, their logic, their techniques. Where and on whom do they work? What are their histories? Who are their practitioners? What are their pioneer fronts? Why is it important to consider them just as much each in their specificity, and together? What is the contribution of influence practices to the production of value (economic and political)? From the point of view of the present and from the one of long duration history, is not influence government (a form of governmentality) a major dimension of the deep neoliberal turn the world is experiencing nowadays?

The representations of ethnoracial minorities in the French audiovisual world
From TV stations to digital platforms
Cette journée d'étude propose d’étudier comment les modes de représentation des minorités ethnoraciales (Safi, 2013 ; Cervulle, 2013) ont évolué en France au sein d’une offre de contenus audiovisuels alimentée de façon croissante par des médias issus du web, souvent étrangers, et échappant donc à toute régulation ou politique volontariste hexagonale en la matière. Elle s'appuie sur un double cadrage interdisciplinaire : un premier d'ordre socio-économique et un second d'ordre socio-technique.

Theatre on the barricades? Art and the challenge of revolutions
Research cycle: "Revolts, revolutions and performance in the Near and Middle-East in the 21st century"
Depuis près de deux décennies, les pays du Proche et du Moyen-Orient ont connu de nombreux mouvements politiques, de révoltes, et de contestations. Dans des sociétés où la liberté d’expression était limitée et le discours contrôlé, ces mouvements de révoltes se sont accompagnés de l’émergence et d’un renouvellement de la création artistique, notamment dans le domaine des arts de la scène. Le cycle de recherches que nous avons mis en place a pour objectif d’étudier la trajectoire politique et sociale des pays des régions du Proche et du Moyen-Orient par le biais de la création artistique, en particulier les arts de la scène et de la performance. Cette troisième et dernière journée de réflexion a pour objectif de se concentrer à l’étude des arts du spectacle en temps de Révolution, sur le lien entre théâtre et événement dit « révolutionnaire », en particulier celui des printemps arabes de 2011.

Music and Political Democratisation in Late Twentieth Century
This event aims to innovatively question how musical practices formed ways of imagining democracy in the democratic transitions that took place after Portugal’s ‘Carnation Revolution’ in 1974 – what Huntington (1991) called the ‘third wave’ of democratisation, which involves more than 60 countries throughout Europe, Latin America, Asia, and Africa. Rather than studying music’s diverse deployments within these political contexts (music ‘in’ transitions to democracy), these study days place the emphasis upon ways in which music embodies democratisation processes and participates in the wider social struggle to define freedom and equality for the post-authoritarian era (hence the ‘and’ in the title of the event).

European and global responses to the concept of “literary engagement” between 1945 and 1968
ACLA 2020 panel
The question of “engagement” (or commitment) became one of the defining elements of post-WWII literature and was, for a long period, at the center of the discussions about the relationship between aesthetics and politics in several European countries. Commonly associated with the name of Jean-Paul Sartre, the success of the notion of “committed literature,” however, went well beyond the French national space. This panel focuses on the transnational circulation of the concept of “committed literature” and, more broadly, on the circulation of related notions, such as writers’ “responsibility,” as well as on any type of counter-discourse or counter-theory targeting “committed literature.” We would like to explore the different degrees of transnational propagation and dissemination of these debates both in regions that absorbed the intellectual debates taking place in France and in the case of countries which remained more impermeable to them.

Importance of Minority Issues and Construction of Identity in the UK
Socio-Political Discourses in Art as a Tool and Framework for Institutions
Les présentations des participants inviteront à réfléchir à l’intersection entre l’intégration des minorités au sein de la société britannique sous le prisme de l’art, qu’ils soient populaires ou impulsés par les pouvoirs publics et à nous interroger sur l’analyse filmique des minorités en compagnie de spécialistes tels que Rosalind Galt et Karl Schoonover. Nous nous efforcerons de comprendre dans quelle mesure la culture et les arts peuvent servir un processus social d’intégration et d’inclusion des minorités, ou au contraire essentialisent les différences de l’autre. Les propositions pourront éventuellement s’intéresser aux dimensions culturelles, socio-économiques et politiques de cette intersection complexe.

Revue Communications journal no. 106 (2020)
La foi dans les vertus et les bénéfices sociaux de la liberté d’expression et du free speech a été largement remise en cause et une critique du paradigme dominant de la manière de penser la liberté d’expression et la censure a vu le jour, dont on a pu regrouper les diverses manifestations sous le label de « New Censorship Theory ». C’est sur la question du « free speech » que porte plus précisément cet appel à propositions pour le n° 106 de la revue Communications.

The effects of commerce and capitalism on character have been debated since Antiquity. The controversry has picked up steam since the development of commercial and capitalist society in the West since the eighteenth century. The purpose of this conference is to examine, in multidisciplinary fashion, the relations between capitalism and individual character since the eighteenth century, and to bring together people of diverse contemporary perspectives on the subject.

Transnational dimensions of dealing with the past in ‘Third Wave’ democracies
Southern Europe, Central Eastern Europe, and the Former Soviet Union in Global Perspective
This conference aims to fill the gap by looking at how post-dictatorial justice and memory experiences in Southern Europe, Central Eastern Europe, and the former Soviet Union after the “third wave of democratization” have reciprocally affected each other. It also seeks to unpack how memorialization practices in these regions were shaped by and influenced in turn criminalization discourses in other geographical contexts (Latin America, Asia, Africa). The conference focuses on transnational activism, transfers of knowledge, and expertise at bilateral, regional or international levels, the impact of legal and mnemonic narratives outside their countries of origin, and the role of international organizations and NGO's in dealing with mass violence. The conference aims thus to trace the mutlidirectional circulation of ideas, norms and models of reckoning with authoritarian regimes both within these regions, and between them and other areas of the world.

Theatre in Wartime. Actors, Authors, Audiences
Tandis que de nombreuses études ont été consacrées au rôle du théâtre dans la construction de la mémoire de guerre, ainsi qu’à la représentation de la guerre sur scène, le rôle du théâtre pendant le conflit et ses multiples manifestations n’ont pas suscité la même attention de la part des chercheurs. En temps de guerre, au sein des armées comme dans les situations de confinement, à l’arrière comme dans les villes assiégées ou dans les zones occupées, l’activité théâtrale a souvent pu continuer de s’exercer, a dû trouver de nouvelles formes d’expression et a fourni à des populations qui en temps de paix étaient étrangères à l’art du théâtre un levier pour faire face à des situations extrêmes. Ce colloque se propose d’explorer les multiples facettes du théâtre en temps de guerre, sans restrictions chronologiques, de façon résolument interdisciplinaire.

The historical actors of theatrical decentralisation in the Hauts-de-France region
The theatrical decentralisation in the Hauts-de-France region - part 1
Le mouvement général de la décentralisation théâtrale française est, depuis plusieurs décennies et encore aujourd’hui, largement documenté et analysé par le monde de la recherche. De ce point de vue, la région Hauts-de-France (anciennement Nord/Pas de Calais d’un côté et Picardie de l’autre) a été à part entière, et peut-être plus que d’autres, partie prenante de ce que l’on appelle souvent – par nostalgie ? – « l’aventure de la décentralisation ». On poursuivra donc, durant ce·s colloque·s et/ou ces journées, deux objectifs : celui de transmettre une mémoire, d’une part, et celui de lancer des pistes de réflexion et d’évaluation, d’autre part.

Stages of Utopia and Dissent, 50 years on...
15 May 1968: the Odeon theatre in Paris is occupied by students and becomes the insurgent headquarters where every night militants recount the days' action in occupied factories to an audience of people camping in the auditorium. Youth rebellion was never as mythologised as that of the French students’ fight against institutional oppression. The effects were felt across the Channel, too – but the nature of those effects was, and remains, disputed. 50 years on… where are we? What remains of autogestion and emancipatory education? What remains of theatre inventiveness and sedition? What remains of a need for participatory audiences? What remains of utopia and dissent?

TaPRA Theatre, Performance and Philosophy Research Event
In On Being Included, Sara Ahmed argues that institutional commitments to diversity may be considered “non-performatives”: they do not bring about what they name. Institutions run diversity workshops and committees, outreach programmes and ‘participatory’ or ‘inclusive’ agendas, but where does the gesture stop, and where does it begin? How may we understand the choreography and the dramaturgy of institutional outreaching? How can we begin to detour this language so as to rethink the role of the university – and of artistic practice – in public life today? Does the university have a role to play in public life, and what might that be? Does this equate with ‘outreach’? What is the relationship between artistic practice and what may be termed ‘creative research’?

Commitment, Challenges and Crises of International Art Criticism since 1945
The international conference Reframing the (Art) World/Redéfinir le monde (de l’art) aims at concluding an intense three-year research carried out within the frame of the research programme PRISME, hosted at the Archives de la critique d’art (Archives of Art Criticism in Rennes). By following a multidisciplinary approach, the aim of this conference is to reframe a still little-known chapter of cultural history, in order to reconsider art criticism as a historical and epistemological prism in regard to international issues since the second half of the XXth century.
